## Release v0.51.261 — Release IC (stage-r11)
Live Todos panel via an explicit `todo_state` SSE contract.
### Fixed
| Issue/PR | Author | Fix |
|----------|--------|-----|
| #3373 follow-up (#3454) | @v2psv | The Todos side panel now tracks `todo` tool state **live during an active run** instead of staying stale until settle / rolling back on a mid-stream reload. A dedicated `todo_state` SSE event sends a full, redacted, idempotent snapshot on todo-tool completion (no more truncated `tool_complete.preview`); the same `api.todo_state` parser feeds live + cold-load; live snapshots persist into INFLIGHT so reload/reattach restores the panel; cold-load vs INFLIGHT reconciled by timestamp (incl. the `coldTs===0` compressed-session edge); legacy reverse-scan kept as fallback for old servers. |
### Gate
- Full pytest suite: **7692 passed, 0 failed**
- ESLint: CLEAN · ruff: CLEAN · browser-smoke: CLEAN
- Codex (regression): **SAFE TO SHIP** — verified the new `todo_state` SSE handler composes with existing dispatch (no double-subscribe), INFLIGHT persistence is cleared on terminal/cancel (composes with discard_session + turn-journal), timestamp reconciliation can't let a stale local snapshot win, redaction holds, the legacy reverse-scan fallback still works with no double-render, and the `models.py` change is todo-scoped (no CLI-classification interaction).
